INS Where To Go Camping Guide | Unali’yi Lodge 236 Page 4 Unali’yi Lodge 236 Order of the Arrow Coastal Carolina Council, BSA Dear Unit Leader, I am thrilled to be the editor this year for the 2010 Unali’yi Lodge Where to Go Camping Guide. I love to camp, and I’m sure you do! After many hours of work I am proud to present this years revised edition. Since the addition of color to our publication, the guide has been prohibitively expensive to print. We will continue to publish the Where To Go Camping Guide in color. It will be available to down- load as a PDF from our website http://www.site236.com. For those troops in our Council we will make available a printed black and white version. We have made several small changes to our publication this year, many regarding changing rates for boat rentals and camping fees. This year many parks have waived their entry fees. I have noted this on their page. I have also left their prior fee incase they return to the fee program in 2011. Because it is our intention to fairly and adequately assess as many camping options as possible, we have made it our foremost initiative to maintain a clear, unbiased, current, and thorough writing style for every entry. Any corrections which you feel would improve our Where to Go Camping Guide should be ad- dressed to a member of Unali'yi Lodge's youth leadership. Contact information for these individuals can be found
